"Because that was the deal. those strands we couldn't undo. I even tried slicing her hand that it was attached to off, and destroying all the flowers through runic means didn't kill her, only weakened her. We didn't have time to try and find her life source. So I left her alive, in exchange she leaves us alone, and repairs at least the damage she did. Dhairiss will get back to his old self physically soon enough. it's mostly just dehydration and muscle deterioration. nothing home care can't fix. it's mentally that I am more concerned with."
A slight smirk.
"But now we have one in captivity. Thanks to your quick thinking on keeping it alive, we have one that we can learn about and from. which means even if she betrays us, we'll be able to counter everything that she can do. Not to mention, she'd be a fun tool to let loose on someone we didn't like. come to think of it, I have the perfect play to let her go play."

He wasn't a very tenative parent type figure was he? Eh, then again why should Mykorian expect such a thing? "Right, back in by night." Thusly he put his dishes away and headed outside...to promptly plop down on a rock and prop his elbows on his knees and his chin in his hands. What was he getting himself into here?
"Suppose that's better than worse things." Still wasn't happy about it though. Though he did give somewhat of a grin to his father. "If you want to defeat your enemy, you have to know your enemy. Just like you taught me." After all he was old enough to understand the world was not all best friends and playmates. Enemies existed and you had to know them before they got to know you. "And you and mom are okay too?" Sure he was going to look tough like nothing was wrong, but the kid in him wanted to be reassured of everything.

A blink as suddenly the kid just placed his dishes away and went outside. Huh must be a teenager thing, Galesen could remember what it was like back then but it probably wasn't the same thing like Mykorian's. So on to doing a few simple chores around the house, though a look to the wall as the rune was lit up. Huh it seemed like the kid didn't go too far, after all the thing wasn't getting any smaller. So with a little bit of curiosity in mind he walked over to the door and peered outside to see the new roommate sitting down alone. So he decided to walk on over and he did, pausing to stand by the kid and looked up for a moment before staring down at the boy. "What's on your mind?"

"School." Jaw hardening and a muscle beginning to tic as he thought back to it. He'd never told his parents but there had been a brief time where he'd been a bully. "I know that. Sometimes chasing girls gives me a rush but it's not the same." He'd been searching for something else to give him the same rush winning a race did but just couldn't find it. Maybe sex would? Though he was still too scared to get that physical with one. "If I spend all my time studying things that I don't really like, what I do really love could completely pass me by. You and Mom both like some kind of study. So does Faate but I don't. And I'm at a loss for what else I can do to figure it out..." It'd been plaguing him for a while now but he'd always told himself to figure it out himself. He laughed and shook his head. "You don't taste it, you inhale it. If you took the time to appreciate it, she wouldn't care how many plates you had. Plus, she knows you like to skip meals if you're allowed and eating enough the night before to cover two gives you the permission you need. It's still love, just a different kind."

He rubbed his eyes on his arm sleeve as Galesen walked up, sniffing before resting his chin in his hands again. "Nothing's on my mind." A little scoot on the rock he was sitting on to change direction and face away from the surface elf. Last thing he wanted was to be poked at because he had been crying and being a baby.
"School? And you mother wonders why I really didn't want you going to a public one. Personally I think you would do much better with an individual basis system." Shaking his head lightly and rubbing at the back of his neck as he usually did when such talks of serious nature were being had."I suppose. At least she doesn't hit me with a spoon." Grinning at that one."What if we made a deal Zykariel? I'll let you race to your heart's content and you don't have to go to the classes you feel you don't need to go to. Trying to force on you the things I didn't get when I grew up because I think it's good for you, may in fact not be the best answer or way to raise you." Pointing a finger at his son, "What would you give in return for that? Choice is yours." All his other methods weren't working with his son, it was time for a new one.

A blink again as he saw the kid sniffle a little before turning away from him. Something must of been eating at this kid with the way he was reacting all of a sudden. "Well there must be, or you wouldn't of just try to gain more space between us like that." A pause before he sat down and sighed before looking at Mykorian from the corner of his eye. "Hey, you can trust me you know. If there is anything you want to talk about, I'll do my best to keep an ear open." A pause before he began to twirl his finger, poking around the air that was around him for kicks. "So...is there anything you wanna say?"

"Being a powerhouse in a little body is not always best. Helps with the healing though." Tilting his head, he studied his father for a moment and frowned, "You mean like the way Malikhai was taught for most of his life? By you or Mom?" He liked school for the social aspect but he had enough friends. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to withdraw and explore in other ways. He sat up and took notice at the conversation when it turned in the direction of deals and such. "Is there a limit of classes that I have to attend?" What would he give in return for that? "I..I don't know. What do you want from me more than school?" Was this a trap or was Dad serious?

"Maybe I want space because I barely know you and you make me uncomfortable in the creepy way." Pulling his legs up to rest his heels on the edge of the rock he was one and thus pull his legs to his chest, resting his chin on his knees as the other sat down. "I don't need to talk about anything." Last thing he wanted to talk about was seeing his dead parents for the first time in three years. For a kid his age...that was unsettling. "You don't have to worry about me you know. I'm my own responsibility."
"Yeah. Or by someone else who had means to teach you." Shrugging lightly as if the idea wasn't farfetched for him. "As far as class skipping...you wouldn't have to learn from me or your mother on that, and you can go to what you want and skip what you want. You're the one who knows how fast you're learning and what you're capable of." He knew his son probably didn't trust him too much on this, but hey that's what happened with new things. "No, I'm not telling you what I want from you. You have to decide what your half of the deal is."

"Hey I'm just trying to get to know you. Though it seems that overall it's gonna be difficult. But if I am making you uncomfortable then I'm sorry I don't mean to make you feel that way." A pause and he sighed as he twirled his finger some more. "Yeah you do. It's better to get things off your chest but I'm only asking you, if you don't want to then fine by me kid." Though Galesen paused for a moment before lighting a finger with a small flame, he was a little bored. "Too bad because I do. Besides if you do stay then you are technically my responsibility as you will be living underneath my roof and whatnot." Another finger was lit, he seriously hasn't talk to a kid Mykorian's age in years other than the kids at Twilight so it was gonna be a little difficult for him.

"mom's...a little out of sorts, but she'll be fine. I'm alright, nothing a little time won't mend at least internally. I was thinking about taking the family to Andal to see Kieran and have some time on a surface that doesn't have any real enemies. and...maybe give you little 'Nell problem a new place to infest. might be fun. Interested?"
Though, he did wonder how Fianna and Piper were doing. even piper seemed a bit withdrawn. but that's normal after things dealing with souls.
"We should be fine in due time. but try to be careful with Dhairiss. if you want, feel free to trying get him to see that what he thought was real wasn't, but keep in mind he is quite convinced it wasn't an illusion. probably wasn't...those things didn't feel pain or at least care about physical injury. she could easily injured herself for appearance."

That would free up his schedule pretty significantly, wouldn't it? He'd be able to skip out on all those ridiculous potions classes that he didn't need and didn't want and basic magic courses as well. He'd aced all of them a long time ago but they kept building on and on. He understood why the school had them since not all of the kids' parents had taken the time to teach their children before sending them to school. But his had and he had more than a cursory knowledge of potions and far more than cursory of regular magics. "I don't know the answer to that right now. Can I think about and let you know?" Somehow he really didn't think telling his father he'd give up sex was going to fly. Sevilin Inthara knew more than he let on...

"If you know I don't want to talk about it then why are you prying at it?" Stubborn pre-teens, what were you going to do with them? Especially little boys who were trying to be grown ups when they weren't even teenagers yet. "I'll try to behave my best under your roof then." He wasn't sure how much he was going to like this yet...after all, he'd been living on his own and under his own rules for while now...though maybe a little structure wouldn't hurt. "What are we doing in the morning?" Probably a schedule to follow around here too.
He seemed to brighten some. "No kidding? Vacation to Andal? I'd like that. Dhairiss may be a bit fussy since it's his first time and all, but hey he'd end up liking it too." Unlike his father, he was rather comfortable around the surface pollens and such, a trip to see his grandparents was never a bad thing." Though he gave one of those 'we're gonna get in trouble looks' to his father. "Aw dad come on...don't let them go on Andal. We're never going to be allowed to go back if you do that. How come granddad didn't come anyway? He'd usually first to come down no matter the situation." But he gave a nod to his father. "I'll see what I can do with him, he's always trusted me."
"Yeah, you can think about it for a while. But you know the offer is on the table now, you just have to take it." Clapping his son on the back before getting himself up...Zahara was probably going to have a fit about this, but he was allowed to make decisions about the children too, especially when it was in their best interests. He'd rather Zykariel not go to classes and learn more than laze through classes and have his teachers yell at him. "I'll leave you to think." Thusly heading out and wandering to where he knew his daughter was, lightly resting a hand on her shoulder. "And how are you holding up my girl?"

Gods damn it this kid was bloody stubborn. If the kid wanted to try and be on par with the rest of the adults then fine, the boy would get a big dose of reality soon hopefully. Gods the kid was probably a handful of years younger than him by human standards at least. "Don't worry, just follow the normal rules set for any house and you'll be fine with me but if you need any help like I said just come to me." A light sigh from him before he got up and brushed off his pants. "Well tomorrow we'll head over to Twilight, Malik will probably want to talk to you about your situation. Just get up at your usual time since there is no schedule set yet." A small shrug as he looked around for a moment. "Sorry there nothing to do really, I wasn't expecting you to come around until a little later actually."

"Yes, we could all use one after recent events."
though a slight grin.
"Kieran...had an accident. so he ws unable to come despite wanting to. I believe he is on forced bed rest. Which is another reason to go there to visit. And I wouldn't let them in there. just give them a little nudge to go there on their own and play with certain people."
a nod to his son, and a slight grin.
"So. how have things been going with that girl? Kaelin, was it?"

"I wouldn't exactly call it a situation. Just a temporary change of venue and plans." Fingers picking some at the rock he was sitting on. But a little nod at more things he was being told. "That's okay, I'm used to entertaining myself when there's nothing to do. I'll be fine. You can do whatever it is you need to do and stuff. I won't be a bother."
"Getting himself hurt again? He's worse than me when I was eight." Shaking his head at that before a sigh and a blink, giving a frustrated noise and grabbing his pillow to plop it over his face. "Dad! Do we have to talk about her? I'm bad at this girl thing still." He couldn't really get the hang of dealing with him...they seemed to like talking circles around him or just messing with him in the confussing way. "I'll deal with girls when I've...finished my training." Unspecified training, yeah that was gonna save him some time as he more or less hid under his pillow but tried to make it seem like he wasn't.
